Jr. Loper Flag Football

Jr. Lopers Flag Football

YMCA Jr. Loper Flag Football program focuses on teaching fundamentals, sportsmanship and teamwork through practices and games. We emphasize a “kid’s first” motto, which means the best interest of the children is put ahead of wins and losses. Players will receive equal practice time and play at least 1/2 of every game. As part of a team, everyone contributes to the team’s success. At the Y, we believe that kids who enjoy playing sports build a lifetime love for the game, while developing healthy habits and positive lifelong core values (caring, honesty, respect and responsibility). Teams will be formed by YMCA staff based on grade and school attended. Player and Coach requests are not 100% guaranteed.
**6-8th grade division will have a skills assessment to help determine team placement**
